How’s your March? 🌸

Hello dear friends!

March 31 is about to end in 40 minutes (at the time I’m writing this post),

How are you?

The first quarter of the year is blah — ended. I felt like I’m just stuck in 2018 !!? >//<

Why time is running so fast, huh?

I don’t have any major achievements attained this 1st quarter (gently pats myself on the back) but I do have a lot of little victories that I’m so grateful for!!!!! ❤

Here’s my “mini” March Life Update ^o^ //  “simplejoys in random days”

A beautiful picture shared by Kim Namjoon on Twitter that made my day.

Start of Lenten Season and I’m using this for my 40-day devotion and journey with God ❤  May my faith go deeper and stronger 🙂

I cooked a pancake……… me trying to be an “adult” who knows how to cook.

but in reality….. HAHAHAHAHHA.. what I have done? how’s adulting so far? T.T I almost burned this… SAD pancake =( **lesson learned: use low heat!**

March is extra special because it’s SUGA DAY!!!!!!!!!!! So happy that Grace and I were here >:D< happy fangirling moments! TYSM for the organizers! ❤

How cute, isn’t it!??? Meowngi day 03/09/19 ^o^

“Me time” = treating myself a chocolate cake from Mary Grace while watching Romance is a Bonus Book Episode 16 HUHU ❤

Sometimes we need to look what’s on our table ^^ #motivation

Hehe I really decided to treat myself a cake because it’s my sister’s birthday 🙂 My birthday last year was also here in Mary Grace but in NAIA3 branch after we arrived from Singapore, Thank you so much ate for treating us.

Disclaimer: I ate a lot of cakes this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are my simple gifts to ate on her birthday except the sticky memo. I went to DAISO 2-3x times just to get these limited Hello Kitty beep cards. I even called and texted the staff multiple times just for an update when they will restock >< ugh all for love.

After getting those beep cards (finally). I deserve this!!!!!!!!!! *excuse me for using a plastic straw* I promise that I will buy my own straws SOON #GoZeroWaste

On my VA journey: Finished some webinars + Got approved on Upwork (thanks to Ms.Anna!) + Got book recommendations from Sir Jason that I must invest in + Finally, edited my OLJ and Upwork Profile + Applied to an online job but got rejected (it’s okay) + And today, I did apply on 3 job postings on Upwork!!!! Faith OVER fear.

Yes.. I got Romance is a bonus boooook hangover T.T (i love this kdrama!!)

UHM okaaay my taekook heart ❤ HK day 1 con was a real legit wild con!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE I LIVE TO LOVE!!!!!!

ARMYs are really blessed to have BANGTAN!!!! Thanks Dispatch for all the lovely photos as in huhuhuhuuh okk this is my fave! ❤ uwu ^^

I have to make a journal spread on this because: #1 I’m really thankful that someone captured me while teaching our Awesome Kids using the PowerPoint slides I’ve prepared hihi. Every 3rd and 4th Sunday together with teacher Karla(Hi FIG!), we are teaching different Bible stories and lesson to kids, our reference was from Sermon4Kids website. #2 I cut and paste my “blessing” from the Thankful and Blessed page of our Feast Bulletin –  I wrote Thank you Lord for the Simple, happy and peaceful birthday celebration of my brother (March14) #littlethings #FeastMarikinaBulletinPage

I made a little birthday surprise event for my sister with this (photo above) plus the HK beep cards and our cute pictures posted in our room!!! ❤ Too sad she’s really tired/sleepy/busy when she arrived in Manila… but I knew she appreciated my efforts. We finalized our BOOKING in HK this MAY with our mom and dad!!!! ^o^ I LOVE YOU ATE!!!! ❤

I’m so excited for BTS 5th MUSTER because huuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh I really love that they use the MAGIC SHOP concept!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote my FEEELS in my journal about this because I really need to vent it out *it helps!!!*. THANK YOU BTS in advance! I will be supporting you all here in PH, please do a vlive access for us ARMYs pls…….. or a FILM perhaps? jk! I will not worry anymore because I know there are a lot of kind ARMYs who will share us you know hehehe. *I’m gonna wait patiently*

677 – TaeGi 😍

(Another fangirl-venture!!! *game! 🤗)

(What you’re lookin at??  *mah heart 💖)

(Soooo beautiful huhu!)

Sharing three snaps of my day! 👌🏼

Grace and I attended Douleur Exquisite – TaeGi Exhibit!! 💖 Our second time to attend an exhibit for BTS!! It was so good! Our money was worth-it! Our eyes were blessed today. Huhu. Thanks to all the organizers there. Successful event! From the venue, too many beautiful pictures 😍😍, too many cute stuff from ARMYs fanarts x photobook 😍😍 and approachable staff. All in all 10/10!!! My smile was like glued on my face for long hours! My heart just kept calm from their cuteness. Ugh. I loved it! ☺️
We found out that there’s Dogs and cats expo too from Hall 1!! Andddd it such a nice view of adorable dogs!!!! 😍

(Can I bring you home? *No 😜)

 

Thank you Lord for nourishing us with food today:

• Lunch @ Holy Cow. *I will never again order Beef Strips meal 🔥
• Snack @ Hobing. *Tried Mango Cheesecake 💛 must-try! And we tried Cibo’s toast bread & spinach dip! 💚 must-try too. ☺️

I’m just guilty when I got home today for not celebrating Sunday Mass.. but it’s not gotta less my belief and faith with God if I didn’t attended mass today. So, cheer up. I’m always grateful to God for this Kilig Sunday while Fangirling!! ~ I may not saw Park Shin Hye today at SM Megamall, maybe I will see her in Korea this year.. *positivity, self ☺️

Lastly, thank you Grace for today!! You know what it is! Haha! 😘 Who else need a photographer, when you already got a friend who can take your nice snaps! Haha.

(📸: Grace D! *pretends a stolen shot for this 😜)

~ My fangirl-self is just happy today, I hope I can stop growing up for now. No responsibilities or no complicated drama/ relationships. Wehehehey, back to reality again, dear.
Dream on.

Goodnight! 🌙

Always be grateful 🌷
